Description

Photograph of a furniture maker drilling with an old bow drill, in Palestine, ca.1900-1910. An old man with a turban around his head Indian-sits before a pile of wood shavings and a small tree-stump, as he drills into a piece of wood against the stump using a bow-like drill. In the background, several pieces of wood lean against a stone wall, while what appears to be a large saw hangs at right.
